An Alternate Bulletproof Coffee

An alternative to the standard bulletproof coffee recipe is a smoothie without the butter, using only coconut oil and/or coconut cream, which are composed of more medium-chain triglycerides (these fatty acids are absorbed faster by the body and converted into energy for the brain more easily than other fats).

It’s vegan, and avoids the saturated animal fat that comes with butter. A nutritionist has created a dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free version.

The pseudo-grain quinoa has been added for a big protein lift (when quinoa is consumed with a seed or another grain, the amino acid profiles combine to make a complete protein, similar to that found in meat and fish).
